*source of data for the graph;
Stevenson & Wolfers 2008a, fig. 11, based on data from Gallup World 2006.
*reliable or not?
The source is reliable
*What period is covered?
2006
*Is the scale logarithmic or linear?
The scale is logarithmic
*What data is covered in the graph?
The graph covers satisfaction level compared to real GDP per capita. The graph
demonstrates that happiness does not rise with national GDP over a lengthy period, typically ten
years. This is currently solely supported by data from industrialized nations. The graph shows
that a larger sample of developed nations than previously looked at and Eastern European nations
transitioning from socialism to capitalism exhibit a long-term negative relationship between
income and happiness. It also shows that happiness and income are correlated in the short run in
all three country groups, with shrinking economies decreasing satisfaction and expanding
economies increasing happiness. The paradox's critics in more recent times have contended that
the positive time-series link between money and happiness is either a statistical artifact or a
misinterpretation of the conceptual relationship between the long and short term.
